Based on the question above, the best answer for this question would be:

a.        She was ravenous for a son-in-law.

The figurative language is evident in this statement because it compares the adjective to the subject, it is how the speaker would describe in an exaggerated way.

The correct answer is A.


The statement "She was ravenous for a son-in-law" contains figurative language. The specific type of figurative language used here is hyperbole.


Hyperbole is a form of figurative laungage that uses extreme exaggeration. Here, the statement implies that she is very, very hungry for a son-in-law. This is a greatly exaggerated way of saying that she really wants a son-in-law. By using figurative language, the author makes clear how greatly she desires a son-in-law.

What did the author mean by the lines
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

D. The runner's records had been broken and people have stopped talking about him.

Explanation:

The above option is correct.

In the stated lines, the author actually meant that the runner's records had actually been broken and people have stopped talking about him. We see this in the line that stated "Runners who renown outran" - this reveals that there are runners that outran the man. So, as a result of that, his record was surpassed and people stopped about him - this we see in the line: "And the name died before the man".
